We know that we are made in the fashion of creatures. We have teeth and claws, genitalia, and a voracious mouth. Out of this animal base, something more is struggling to awareness. We call this, soul.
We make a distinction between the creature world and the world of soul. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" -- Jesus (Mark 8:36). What is soul but that which aspires beyond the world and its satisfactions?
We live in the land of the visible, afraid of the Dark, the Invisible which surrounds us and is True Light. We love our little creaturely ways, and snack and snark on our sensual pacifiers. Standing in a pool of dark we take for light, we live in a blazingly yet softly lit universe of Radiance, Mercy, and Compassion. Our awareness grows and we see this. We are this. We become this.
We leave the pool of darkness we take for light and open to the Darkness of the Mystery which births us. We drop the dark known and open to the Radiant Unknown. We laugh. We are still creature but no longer creature. We live in the world of soul.
